On switch, my tests show that blood stalker can't pull in small enemies (I have tried all buttons)
I'm currently working on one of these for magmasuars, but as of now you can see one for ferox
My results so far after a bit of testing:
Can double jump, can climb, can walk on water, highlights creatures, can shoot bio tether to grapple and drag creatures to you (including flyers) can shoot a single tether to swing around or shoot 2 simultaneous tethers to propell you forward or to set up position to ambush. Keep holding the tether button to pull you towards the tether point and accelerate speed. (ps4) L2 for double tether (disconnects automatically after pulling you to the point) R2 for single tether (doesnt disconnect automatically). Can move extremely fast when tethering correctly.
Some tips about the Bloodstalker:
1-If you are riding your tamed bloodstalker but it is low on health, it will start sucking your blood until you die. I think putting blood packs/raw meat in its inventory will solve the problem.
2-They can float on water, if you want it to submerge fully underwater, press the X key (if you have not changed the key settings) on your keyboard but i am not sure about the other devices. They can also swim very fast.
3-They can pull certain creatures that are small with their strings, they can also climb, and they can be a great tame once you know how to travel with them.
4-If you need to feed baby bloodstalkers, you can use raw meat or blood packs but not cooked meat because they wont eat it and eventually starve, put the food in its inventory, and not the trough because if you put food in the trough and go out of render distance, they wont be able to eat and will also starve to death.
